Photo gallery: Palo Alto Festival of the Arts

The Palo Alto Festival of the Arts kicked off in downtown Palo Alto Saturday morning. Thousands of people were on hand for the annual weekend event, which featured hundreds of artists, live music on three stages, wines and microbrews, kids' activities and Italian street painting. <B>Photos by Marjan Sadoughi and Paul Sakuma.<B>

So disappointed the kid area (except for the hospital table) closed at 5:00, since I arrived there with my kids at about 4:55,under the mistaken impession it would be open until 6:00 like the rest of the festival. I was told the early close was so they'd have time to clean up. Considering that many of the tables were already cleaned up, and the rest were taken care of well before 6:00, I don't quite understand this. My kids were VERY sad that they only got to paint at the one table. MANY thanks to the women who staffed it. Otherwise, the festival was great!
